Corrections

In the print version of the November SPEEA Spotlite, the article: ‘SPEEA retirement semi- nar schedule for 2017, the wrong date was
reported for the Everett August meeting. The
correct date is Aug. 1.

The chart included with the Aerospace Tax
Accountability story in the November Spotlite
incorrectly listed the Missouri jobs numbers.
From October 2013 to October 2016 Boeing
cut 907 jobs from its Missouri workforce.
Updated numbers for Washington state for the
same period show the Boeing workforce down
by 9,923 jobs.
